So I was grooving on Bent Knee and this popped into my head as a fun poll.  Just looking at the artists I have put up it is impossible to choose a favorite.  So I'm gonna allow multiple votes.

German symphonic prog band Hoelderlin have a strong violinist, and Chris Karrer in Amon Düül II plays the violin on occasion with good effect.

From the list, the Mahavishnu Orchestra.  It's hard to pass up Jean-Luc Ponty's solo efforts (Imaginary Voyage, Enigmatic Ocean, Cosmic Messenger, Individual Choice, etc.)

Van der Graaf. Graham Smith's violin on The Quiet Zone / The Pleasure Dome give that album a distinctly different sound from the Van der Graaf Generator albums.
